Hunter Biden tried to pin his missing handgun on 'shady,' 'prolly illegal' Mexican grocery store workers after girlfriend Hallie dumped it in a public trash can
Hunter Biden tried to blame his missing handgun on Mexican workers at a Delaware supermarket he smeared as 'shady' and 'prolly illegal', according to a 2018 police report published for the first time this week.
The First Son made the controversial comments in October 2018 while being interviewed by state police looking for his handgun and bullets after his lover and brother's widow Hallie Biden threw them in a public trash can at Janssens Supermarket in Wilmington, across the road from a high school.
The police search for the gun led to them obtaining Hunter's gun purchase form, in which he lied about not being an addict – the criminal charge that he now faces in Delaware federal court. The trial is due to start on June 3.
The debacle was first revealed by news site Politico in 2021. But the police report, with all its embarrassing details, has now been published for the first time last among pre-trial filings by Delaware prosecutors.
In October 2018, Hallie Biden tossed a gun that she'd found in Hunter Biden's pick-up truck. She was concerned he was going to kill himself with it, he told police later. She then went to retrieve it but it was gone

It shows Delaware State Police wrote up Hallie for 'stealing' his Colt Cobra .38 handgun out of his truck and dumping it in the Janssens trash can on October 23 2018.
One officer wrote in his report that he interviewed Hunter at the supermarket later that day about who might have fished his gun out of the trash.
Hunter told the officer, Sergeant Vincent Clemons: 'they have some shady people working at the market' and gestured at two Mexican store workers adding that they were 'prolly illegal' – then brought up that his father is Joe Biden.
Hunter told Clemons that Hallie threw away the gun because she was scared he would kill himself.
Detective John Penrod sent his daughter to the same private Catholic high school as Hunter, Joe, and the late Beau Biden: Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware, where tuition fees are currently $34,100 per year
He denied he was suicidal, but whined that 'he has been living in a nightmare' and told Clemons 'to put myself in his shoes, and try to feel what it would be like to fall in love with [redacted, his brother's widow Hallie] and then have everyone look at him.'
The report also says police got CCTV of Hallie appearing to dump the gun.
Clemons's report says cops were worried because the supermarket is across the street from a high school 'and we didn't need a student to find the weapon'.
Intriguingly, the police report confirms that the FBI were involved in the case, helping go through the trash looking for the gun.
And Hunter's texts, obtained by DailyMail.com from his abandoned laptop, suggest that a senior law enforcement officer who worked with the FBI was creating a back channel to the official investigation and recommending ways the Bidens could avoid getting in trouble with police.
Detective John Penrod is named in the police report as 'DSP JTTF FBI Task Force', an acronym for Delaware State Police Joint Terrorism Task Forces. According to the FBI, JTTFs consist of multiple agencies and work out of FBI offices.
Amid the incident, on October 23, 2018 Hunter texted Hallie: 'And Hallie John Penrod: 'Hallie have David call if something like this ever happens again (implying – next time Hunter f**ks Up)'.'
'David' is a reference to David I Walsh, the son of Joe Biden's former law partner and decades-long friend David Walsh Sr. Texts on the laptop show Hunter was jealous and paranoid that Hallie was sleeping with Walsh Jr.

Texts from October 2018 show Hallie and Hunter arguing about the gun incident. 'I need you to stop doing everything you possibly can do to make a life here an unbearable preposition,' he told her
In texts between Hunter and Hallie, Hallie told Hunter that she threw the gun away because she was scared he would use it on himself
Hunter's texts suggest that Penrod, a top Delaware state cop who worked with the FBI, was creating a back channel to the official police investigation by speaking to the Bidens and recommending ways they could avoid police trouble.
Penrod sent his daughter to the same private Catholic high school as Hunter, Joe, and the late Beau Biden: Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware, where tuition fees are currently $34,100 per year.
The former top Delaware State Police officer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The police involvement in the incident was sparked not by a 911 report, but instead by a phone call to Penrod by an 'acquaintance', according to the police report.
Sgt Clemons, who interviewed Hunter, wrote that 'Det. Penrod (DSP JTTF FBI Task Force) requested that a Troop 1 Patrol Supervisor contact him in regards to a suspicious gun complaint.'
Clemons said that Penrod 'received a telephone call from [redacted] who is an acquaintance, reporting suspicious activity of [redacted]. According to [redacted], [Hallie] discarded a handgun into an outside trash can and she was in the owner's office at Janssens Market.'
The report shows police lieutenant Millard Greer tracked down an unnamed Wilmington veteran who routinely combed the trash at the store looking for recyclable material to sell, he admitted that he found the gun and a box of Hornady .38 caliber bullets, and handed them over to Delaware State Police.

The owner of the gun store, Ron Palmieri, said Secret Service agents visited the store and asked for the records that proved Hunter owned the gun. He refused to hand them over

Using the serial number on the gun and information from Hunter, state police traced his purchase from StarQuest Shooters gun store in Wilmington earlier that month, and interviewed store owner Ron Palmieri.
Palmieri told the FBI this month that Secret Service officers also separately showed up after the incident and demanded Hunter's gun purchase form – a document which is now the basis for the charges against him in Delaware.
Palmieri refused to hand over the form, and instead turned it over to an agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
The involvement of the agency that protects presidents was highly anomalous, as they had no apparent jurisdiction, and the Bidens were not eligible for Secret Service protection at the time.
Palmieri's FBI interview was published among pretrial court filings on Monday.
Despite the gun store owner's statement to the FBI under penalty of criminal prosecution, the Secret Service still denies any knowledge of their agents' involvement.
'There is no change in our statement. We were aware of the claims made at that time and could not independently corroborate them,' the agency's communications chief, Anthony Guglielmi, told DailyMail.com.
